Ark

I thought – oh strange and terrible world, you should not be destroyed! There are people whom you can love and who love you – Just let us know, every now and then, what might be an ark.

— Nicholas Mosley, “Hopeful Monsters”

    That last sentence is amazingly moving.

    Michael – I don’t know what your taste is, reading-wise, but if you like that quote, you might want to read the whole book. It is in my top 5 favorite novels. The whole book is written like that.

    Thanks, but I’ve learned to avoid serious novels. They take over my life.

    Then most definitely Hopeful Monsters is not for you. :)

    It has still taken over my life, and I read the thing 10 years ago.
